UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Exeter procured services for the LTM Accessibility project, specifically an upgrade to door access systems. The requirement falls within electrical services and concerns improving or adapting access to doors as part of an accessibility project. Delivery is associated with the University of Exeter in Exeter. The procurement was for one requirement rather than a multi-lot programme. Businesses relevant to this work include electrical contractors and specialists able to undertake door access upgrade projects for a university or similar public-sector estate. The buying organisation is the University of Exeter, a public authority, and the selected supplier was based in Exeter.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. Agt Electrical was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 14 July 2026. The contract runs from 15 July 2026 to 15 July 2027. Its value is £29,210 excluding VAT, or £35,052 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through a direct award rather than competitive tendering, and covered the single door access upgrade requirement for the University of Exeter’s LTM Accessibility project. The contracting process therefore records an outcome rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This award shows demand from the University of Exeter for specialist electrical services connected with door access upgrades and accessibility works. A credible future competitor would need the practical capability to assess, supply, install or upgrade electrical door-access arrangements in an occupied university environment, with sufficient capacity to deliver a defined project for a public-sector estate. Relevant suppliers are likely to be electrical contractors with experience in access-related upgrade work, particularly businesses able to manage site-based installation and complete works to the buyer’s operational requirements. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this scale of requirement can be delivered by a focused smaller contractor rather than only by a large national provider.
